For the Salmon:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp ground turmeric

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

For the Curried Yogurt (Dairy-Free):

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt or almond yogurt (make sure it’s unsweetened and gluten-free)

  • 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice

  • 1 tsp curry powder (ensure it’s gluten-free)

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • Salt, to taste

For the Cucumber Salad:

  • 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  3. Prepare the Cucumber Salad:

    • In a bowl, toss the cucumber slices and red onion with olive oil, lime/lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint.

  4. Assemble:

    • Serve the salmon fillets topped with a dollop of curried yogurt.

    • Serve alongside the cucumber salad for a fresh and flavorful meal.

Notes:

  • Gluten-Free Tip: Ensure that the curry powder and other spices are certified gluten-free.

  • Dairy-Free Tip: Always check the yogurt packaging to confirm it’s dairy-free and gluten-free.
